Do you know what it feels like for a man in this world?

Men get so much negative press, labels and assumptions. I am inspired today to offer another view. I personally love and respect men VERY MUCH and am inviting more compassion and kindness towards mankind. 

I have been very lucky in my life to have many male friends and a wonderful husband, from whom I've been able to hear and know what its like to be a man - and it's not what most women would ever imagine. 

I would like to hear from you men and know what it is like for you and what you need. I feel that if we can go beyond the labels and connect with the deeper part of who we are, whatever gender we may inhabit, we will have a more intimate communication. 

I want to thank you for being a man and acknowledge your courage and strength.

What happens when you offer intimate listening?

About a month ago whilst having a typically deep conversation with my husband we came to an idea that is so beautiful and so inspiring that it is creating itself into something truly wonder full. We had the idea to create a spade called Our Vision where whoever was interested could reflect on the question of 'if anything were possible, what would you do/create/see?

And the inquiry inspired me to record conversations and create a podcast channel as an innovation which I've never done before. I felt that by taking away the pressure of video, the two people would be able to relax more and share a more private exploration.

I've now recorded 5 podcasts and I'm getting so much wonderment and amazing energy from it that I can't express it in words. It's creating its own unique space of what I can only describe as magical.
Yesterday I met with Helen Thatcher and I was left floating on this lovely gentle space of what felt like unconditional love.

I am interested in what's causing this. What is the ingredient that is making this happen?
I think that key ingredient is intimacy. A conversation held in deep active listening. A conversation that is lasting about 2 hours on average while we usually record about half an hour. And if we had time we could easily talk for the whole day!

My intention is to showcase and celebrate the person in their full glory and wonder by holding a powerful space of allowing such that they are comfortable and relaxed enough to touch upon that precious Jewel of inspiration.
​
So what's happening to me as a cause of all of this is that I'm being showered with a multitude of blessings like never before. It's like this positive energy is feeding and nourishing me and giving me so much more than if I were just bumbling along my own life on my own.
I've always believed that as a group we are more and we are connected and supported. I feel that new paradigm of 'work' is collaboration.

How do you feel and why should you care?

Yesterday I was listening to my favourite inspirational teacher Matt Kahn and he was saying that it is his PASSION to leave the world better than how he found it.
I thought - WOW!!! That’s so awe inspiring. Then my mind jumped to asking me the same question and to my joyful surprise an answer bubbled up instantly - like the percolated coffee I’m enjoying right now…
So my PASSION is to offer anybody who wants to; a gentle space of listening to allow a person to connect to their own truth and needs without being told what to do, what they should be doing and what to believe. But rather just to ask, ‘how are you feeling?’ and just to be there for them.
And I am passionate that if there was more of this allowing’ people to feel how ever they need to feel then then there would be an global wave of positivity, emotional release and ultimately LOVE.  
With that in mind I got on my own case and recorded my first ever podcast all about it! And I intend this wonderful new year of 2018 to do many wonderful inspiring podcasts and get into conversation with you, if it is your interest, to share on these things.
I’m clear that magic happens through collaboration so I want to hear from you - yes - wonderful you.
This podcast is all about asking yourself that hallowed HOW ARE YOU FEELING question which is a world of difference away from asking YOU OK?
I wish you a wholehearted happy new year and may the light of kindness caress all the unseen shadows and let them know that they too are important…
